Examining post-mortem tissue from the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease, Stanford University School of Medicine investigators identified what appear to be iron-containing microglia -- ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Microglial receptor ADGRG1 helps immune cells eat amyloid plaques and may offer new hope for Alzheimer's treatment. (CREDIT: ...

Microglia respond to proteinopathies by changing their shapes and expression profiles in different ways. Here’s one that has been somewhat overlooked: rod-shaped microglia. These long, straight cells ...

Researchers have unraveled how immune cells called microglia can transform and drive harmful processes like neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease. The study also integrates drug databases with real ...

In this interview, Dr. Tilman explains the functions of iPSC-derived microglia and their relevance to conditions like Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Microglia are the primary immune ...

For years, researchers considered Alzheimer’s disease (AD) an amyloid beta and neuron-related condition. But having trained as a pathologist, Thomas Montine, who is now a neuropathology researcher at ...

Microglia are known to play an important role in Alzheimer's disease, but exactly what they do has remained a mystery. Scientists in the Bart De Strooper Lab at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain & ...

Far from a static barrier, the brain’s extensive interface with the blood is increasingly being appreciated as an active border, one that serves not only to keep some proteins out, but to let others ...

Microglia Show a More Complex Role Than Expected Earlier experiments had already suggested that microglia influence anxiety, but researchers initially believed that all microglia functioned in the ...
